Speaker 1 (00:00):
Interrupting the Chad and Rick College Basketball Spectacular to talk
with their friend and mine, Richard Skinner from Local twelve,
because there's lots going on with the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hi, Richard, Well, here's what I was gonna tell you.
I got two things for you can get back to
college basketball. The Bengals suck and Joe Blaco is hurt.
All right.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
That's Richard Skinner from Local twelve. You could read his
columns at Local twelve dot com. Hi, boys, it's it's
you know, I should have just had you join these
guys in studio and I could have. I could have
sat back and done nothing. Is Flacco? He's not gonna
play on Sunday? Is that a thing?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I can't imagine he does. I mean, that's a pretty
that's a pretty significant injury. You know, after the game
he said it didn't hurt much. Well, he went back
to the locker room, probably got it shot up. So
you can come in for that final series. I'm guessing it
didn't hurt much. And then Monday comes along and oohbu
way it hurts a lot. Yeah, he doesn't go tomorrow.
I can't imagine he plays. I know, Zach left open today.
(00:55):
The possibility that, you know, he doesn't need any reps
that he could he's healthy enough he can show up
on Sunday and play, And that's probably only true if
he's healthy. I just don't think that's gonna be a
possible and it's a real long shot.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
So okay, they have a buye after this game. Is
this something that could keep him out possibly multiple weeks?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, I mean, this is an injury that can be
really significant and it can also be short term. It's
a weird thing, you know. I think the buye we
probably help soften that blow. If you can win this
week is goofy? This sound you can win that this week? Yeah,
the buye you could actually go to Pittsburgh if they're
five and four and r four and five and a
chance to sweep them to take over first place in
(01:33):
this division. That's probably not logical because there's no guarantee
they win this weekend, especially when you can't beat the
awful Jets, but it's on the table. It's such a
goofy season, especially in this division. And I think he
gets goofier because Baltimore is getting healthier. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
No, I think Baltimore is gonna win it, and I'm
not even sure it's necessarily going to be close. Maybe
not go from one to five to to run it
away with the thing. They put two guys on ir
yesterday and let go of Mike Panell. Are are they
just gonna play with fifty guys moving forward?
Speaker 2 (02:05):
Now? They're gonna probably bring some guys up in the
practice a lot. I think you're in that mode of
let's see what we've got here. You know, Mike Panell
was actually a rotational tackle. You know, maybe that means
we see more McKinley Jackson. Oh. I think he's been
active for one game this season. It's pretty good spot
for a third round pick from last year and only
playing one game. Oh meanwhile, the other third round pick,
the wide receiver Jermain Burton, hasn't been active for a
(02:27):
single game. Okay, so things are so things are going
well in that department. But yeah, I'm guessing it means
probably some more playing time for mchaelee because at some
point he drafted him in the third round. Gotta see
what you got.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah. Zach Taylor says he needs leaders on defense. Who
are they supposed to be?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I think it's Barrett Carter believe it or not, I
really think they think he can step into a leadership role.
Except the problem is he diagnosed a run play really
really well and got right into the B gap and
here comes a running back at him full speed, and
it was gonna be a one yard game, maybe a
no yard game, maybe even a one yard law depending
on where he dacklomat, except for one small problem. He
(03:04):
didn't tackle the guy and he's spit it out for
a fifty yard run. But answer your question, I do
believe they think Barrett Carter has leadership capabilities, and as
long as he starts performing at a level where he's
making tackles on a consistent basis, I think he can
become that leader. I do.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
The fan base is as upset with Duke Tobin as
I think it has ever been, and understandably so, because
he keeps drafting players who can help. Do you think
he is standing on ice that is that is at
all starting to crack?
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Moh, do you know this organization? That come on?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I had to ask it right sometimes, and you know this.
You have to ask a question you know the answer to,
but you have to throw it out there because you're supposed.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
To that's a fair point. So no, I think he
should be. So I did the exercise. I think maybe
a couple others on the beat have done this. I
just did it today. It hasn't published yet and it's
going up tomorrow. Where I redrafted the first three rounds
for this team this year and it really wasn't even
hard to do, Like these were guys talk about in
those rounds and good reasons for the Bengals taking him
on when it happened. So instead of Shamar Stewart, who's
(04:06):
had one assisted tackle in sixty two defensive snaps over
the last two games, that's some good production. Huh, one
assisted tackle where you fall into a pile. Good for you, man,
that's great work. Instead of him in the first round,
how about Jihad Campbell, who's been one of the best
linebackers in the entire NFL as a rookie sit in
the second round you needed a guard because he drafted
the guard Tate Ratlis was available. How about you go
(04:26):
that route and set a Demetrius Knight because you've already
gone the linebacker round. And then how about in the
third round a guy who played for al Golden Notre
Dame who's having a fine rookie season with the Atlanta Falcons.
How about Xavier watching the third round? How hard is that?
It wasn't even hard to do that. It was common
sensical and said you had to be the smartest ones
in the room and go. Yeah, I know Shamar Stewart
doesn't do anything other than look good, but let's go
(04:47):
ahead and take him anyway because he's got great traits. Okay,
great one assisted tackle in the last sixty two defensive snaps.
I could fall on a pile and get that stat.
I could.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
I'd like to see that, actually, but yeah it would hurt.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
All right, Well, thanks for bringing a good cheer to
a rough situation. We'll talk next week. Thank you as always,
you bet go Big Blue.
